Located in the heart of the Cooper neighborhood, this classic charmer puts you within walking distance of shopping, some of the area's hottest restaurants and bars, parks, and scenic river trails. Blending timeless character with thoughtful modern updates, the home features a fully renovated kitchen with butcher block countertops, a farmhouse sink, and an original exposed chimney that adds warmth and charm. Original hardwood floors, renovated bathrooms, and vaulted ceilings upstairs create the perfect balance of historic character and contemporary comfort.
Both bedrooms offer oversized walk-in closets, while an additional flex space upstairs—complete with a skylight—is ideal for a home office, studio, or reading nook. The open main-level floor plan is perfect for entertaining, featuring a spacious living room large enough to accommodate two distinct gathering spaces, while the dining room flows through classic French doors onto a maintenance-free deck.
Outside, the fully fenced backyard offers a private urban retreat featuring a charming chicken coop, stone walkway, and a space that was once a thriving wildflower and garden oasis. The coop was built from recycled materials as a father-son sustainability project and comfortably houses six or more chickens. The yard was a "rewilding" project and has been recently cleared back, creating a blank canvas for the next owner to restore, reimagine, and make their own. The seller previously replaced 3 feet of topsoil, creating exceptional gardening potential. The front yard has been tilled and seeded, while the side and backyard offer an opportunity to add some sweat equity and further showcase the beautiful deck, landscaping, and stonework already in place.
